The homebrew development PlayStation Portable (PSP) scene is alive and thriving. Yesterday, I alluded to the standard method for playing video on the PSP (MPEG-4 on UMD media) but the unit is probably capable of much more.

My web access logs have been showing links from all kinds of PSP sites. This is because a new version of the PSP Media Player was released. It seems that the player makes use of the YUV -> RGB conversion technique outlined in this paper. I’m glad someone has actually put this to use in a general application. The source code is available which appears to be a copy of the entire FFmpeg source tree with a few PSP hooks.
